Reply With QuoteBaseball doesn't work in the Olympics because the best baseball players from every country are playing over here during the Olympics.
Look at the US roster.
There are definitely some solid prospects and thus future Major League players, but for the most part they're either Four-A fodder or journeymen who have been tossed around the league more than Chris Mason's mother.

Yes, I've been here at track and field every day since it started last Saturday. We do a morning session 9am - 12:30pm, then we break from 1pm - 4:30pm. Then air again 7pm - 11pm or 12am. Lots of overtime which is good but I'm pretty much running on fumes. Thank god I have my first day off in 5 1/2 weeks tomorrow. I couldn't be more ready to come home. Originally Posted by IainDaniel

ESPN - Matos banned for life after kicking referee following match - Olympics
That picture is priceless!!Matos banned for life after kicking referee following match
BEIJING -- A Cuban taekwondo athlete and his coach were banned for life after Angel Matos kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification.
Cuban coach Leudis Gonzalez offered no apology for Matos' actions.
Matos was declared the loser for taking too much injury time after hurting his leg during the men's over-80 kg (176 pounds) match against Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out.
"He was too strict," Gonzalez said, referring to the decision to disqualify Matos.
Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out.
Matos won the gold medal in this division at the 2000 Sydney Games, dedicating the victory to his mother, who died on the day of the opening ceremony. At the 2004 Athens Games, he finished 11th.
Cha Dong-min of South Korea won the gold medal in the 80-kg class, defeating Greece's Alexandros Nikolaidis 5-4 in the final.
Matos' tantrum followed a day of confusion on the mats.
Earlier Saturday, China's double gold medalist Chen Zhong crashed out in the quarterfinals after initially being declared the winner.
It was the first time a match result had been overturned since taekwondo became an official Olympic sport in 1990.

Yeah I read about that is there a video circulating? What a scumbag that Cuban guy is for doing that. He should be banned from the sport period.
